The group of European Medical Research Councils (EMRC) was formed
in 1971 and became a Standing Committee of the European Science
Foundation (ESF) in 1975. EMRC is an association of medical
research councils or equivalent organizations in Western Europe.
The National Institutes of Health, the Israel Academy of Sciences
and the European Office of WHO are associated with EMRC and take an
active part in EMRC activities. The main aims of EMRC are to
exchange information on the research policies pursued by its member
organizations and to initiate and stimulate international
cooperation in biomedical research. Since biomedical research is
highly international in itself, EMRC concentrates its activities on
furthering international collaboration in those fields where it can
play a significant role as a complement to existing channels.
Mental illness research has been judged by EMRC to fulfill these
criteria. After a survey of the activities of the member
organizations in mental illness research, EMRC decided in 1978 to
set up a study group to look for areas within this field to which
EMRC could contribute. As a result of the work of the study group,
four work shops have been arranged to define present knowledge in
some specific areas and to delineate research needs. The present
volume contains the proceedings of the fourth workshop, held in
1985 and dealing with the course and outcome of depressive illness.
EMRC hopes that this volume will stimulate intensified research and
research cooperation on mental illnesses."
